LOTD: newsblogger
For those folks who are want to keep updated on the news, or who want to have a way to send news posts to their blog (works specificly with blogger). It’s pretty slick I must say.

On the nethack note. Literally 15 minutes after posting the message this morning I died. I’m sure my posting about it caused it. I had one of those great nethack deaths though. I stepped on a square, got polymorphed into a paper golem, grabbed by an eel, was dragged underwater, and drowned in the space of about 3 turns. Bah.

POCK!
Well, I haven’t died stupidly (yet) in my lastest game of nethack. But I’m quite psyched because I think it is so far the best game of nethack I’ve played in the FOURTEEN years I’ve played this game. I’m already up to 22nd level and have completed the first quest. (god I’m such a geek).

LOTD for today: Headline Haikus
A little bit of silly for your Tuesday (It is Tuesday isn’t it?)

No real news today. I’m all groggy for some reason. I think I need a serious vacation. I’m considering taking a week off at the end of the month to just get out of MA and RELAX. A roadtrip around the northeast is sounding about my speed. Hopefully I’ll get to stop in and visit friends I haven’t seen in ages.

So I’m working on making my blog show 7 days worth of posts. I’d thought it was set to that and discovered that it was actually set to only show the last 5 posts. I may end up tweaking it a bit. I have a feeling that seven days may be a bit two long and that five days may end up being much better.

I finished the first part of my redesign of the help desk system I’m writing. I’m about to put it into beta at work. So far it at least looks much nicer then the old one.

So I woke up early this morning and found I’d gone to sleep leaving the TV on. But to my suprise, there was a Clifford (The Big Red Dog!) cartoon on! Wow, talk about memories from my childhood. The Clifford books were some of the first I ever read. I always thought they ruled. And, I just think it’s pretty damn cool that there’s a cartoon of it.

Watching TV with no sound is kind of interesting. I muted my TV about an hour ago when I got a phone call and never got around to turning the volume on again. I’m watching some weird thing on the SciFi channel. I think it’s some short movie. It’s got this odd fuzzy alien thing and it looks REALLY weird. Now some guys in suits are running around shooting everyone.

I’m going to post tomorrow’s LOTD tonight, because I was given this URL today and don’t want to forget it. It’s a Personality Disorder Test. The URL is http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv. My results were:

Paranoid: Low
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: Moderate
Antisocial: Moderate
Borderline: Low
Histronic: Low
Narcissistic: High
Avoidant: Low
Dependant: Low
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Interesting to say the least.
I think on that note I’ll head to bed now.

LOTW(Weekend): The Official Nethack Web Site
So why did I choose this site? Because I’ve been playing much too much nethack lately. Maybe someday soon I’ll actually finish the game, but I doubt it.

My friend Bree says: “Teddy Rocks!”
We just got in from seeing Teddy Goldstein. As usual he was quite enjoyable. He played some of my favorite tunes of his, specificly “Will you be my Widow”, “Lucky in Love”, and “Peobody”. (I’m guessing at the names of the songs, since I don’t know them exactly). It was interesting seeing him someplace different then Passim, especially since it was someplace where I could drink some. I’m not sure which I like better. Each place has its own special feel to it.

HELP. BORED.

Today’s LOTD:
/usr/bin/girl – I found this site (and the related ones) while looking at other people’s blogs yesterday. As I looked around I started to feel more and more like my web site sucked. This site was one of the ones that really inspired me the most, so it deserves to be today’s Link of The Day.

On another (more serious) note. Impending transplant things are getting to me a little bit. As I deal with all of this more and more I start to admit to myself more and more that my life is probably going to change a lot once I get my new lung. Though I don’t know for sure, my guess is that my clubbing days will be basicly over. The issue is that when you get an organ transplant you have to take lots of drugs to basicly mask the foreign object (the organ) from your body. These drugs do this by reducing the effectiveness of your immune system. So the trick at that point is watching your health, being aware of when you might be getting sick, being very aware of your health. The thing is, going out into a room full of sweaty people is just the perfect way to catch something. The part of it I am having a hard time thinking about is the DJing aspect of it. While I want and need this transplant, the thought of not being able to spin out again is very painful to me. I just hope that I’ll be able to do it once in a while.
